Welcome to a one-of-a-kind Mediterranean villa nestled in the heart of Garden Hills. Designed and built by a builder-architect, this remarkable home offers over 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully crafted living space with oversized rooms, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and Pella casement windows throughout-flooding the interior with warm natural light. The home wraps around a sun-drenched French-style courtyard complete with pavers, stone walls, and a tranquil fountain, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The main level features a spacious, light-filled primary suite with double walk-in closets, a dressing room, and a spa-like bathroom boasting a steam shower, standalone Kohler soaking tub, polished stone floors, double vanities, and a private water closet. The custom-designed kitchen was created with the serious cook in mind, offering 14-inch-deep upper cabinetry, a walk-in chef's pantry with professional shelving, a massive butcher block work area, and a Russell professional-grade range. French doors open from both the family room and primary suite hallway into the private courtyard, offering a serene extension of the home's living space. Throughout the home, you'll find thoughtful and artistic touches-from cast plaster archways and Juliet balconies to Mexican stone stairs with hand-painted tiles and custom iron railings from European Iron Works. Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired stained-glass transom windows add architectural charm, while reclaimed heart pine floors upstairs-sourced from a historic Hershey, Pennsylvania home-add warmth and character. Downstairs, a state-of-the-art home theater was acoustically engineered to eliminate standing waves and features a Yamaha sound system, projector, sconce lighting, tiered theater seating, lobby with a vintage soda fountain, and a private powder room. You'll truly forget you're at home and feel transported to the cinema. Additional features include a large main-level laundry room and a private office that could easily be converted into a guest suite. All secondary bedrooms are generously sized, each with walk-in closets. Built with enduring quality, the home includes solid-core wood doors, 2x6 exterior wall construction with enhanced insulation, and an Isokern volcanic rock chimney with cast concrete mantle. The red tile roof has been recently restored, and the property has been meticulously maintained by the original builder-owner. Set on over a third of an acre with 75 feet of street frontage, the professionally designed landscaping includes a large, level front lawn, a Japanese garden tucked in back, and a charming kitchen garden to the side. With a dedicated irrigation meter and a detached three-car carport, no detail has been overlooked in this thoughtfully designed home. Ideally located just moments from Garden Hills Pool, Bagley Park and Buckhead Baseball, the neighborhood schools, and Buckhead's best dining and shopping, this villa offers the elegance of Mediterranean architecture with the comfort and convenience of intown living. This rare opportunity combines architectural distinction, timeless style, and thoughtful function in one extraordinary home. Come tour your new home today!
